Abstract

Digital platforms have transformed altruistic and prosocial behavior, particularly in Muslim societies where charitable practices are shaped by religious and institutional norms. Yet the thematic structure and geographical distribution of research on online altruism remain unclear. This study examines how research on online altruism in Muslim societies has developed in terms of publication trends, thematic focus, and geographical distribution. Using a PRISMA-guided bibliometric review, the study analyzes Scopus-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2025, focusing on Muslim-majority and Muslim-context countries, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia, with emphasis on Islamic crowdfunding and digital prosocial activities. An initial search identified 285 records, screened according to publication year, subject area, document type, thematic relevance, and geographical context. This process yielded 35 crowdfunding-related articles, from which 19 studies focusing on Muslim-majority or Muslim-context countries were selected for analysis. Findings indicate that research on online altruism in Muslim societies has grown steadily since 2021 and is concentrated in Southeast Asia. Studies predominantly examine Islamic crowdfunding and digital waqf, highlighting trust, religiosity, Sharia compliance, and institutional governance as drivers of digital prosocial participation. The review identifies research gaps and calls for broader geographical coverage and diverse methodological approaches.
